I was recently told to say yes to anything that came my way for one week (scary thought). So, when the opportunity arouse to get a self portrait with a national icon I jumped at the chance. Well, more like crawled at the chance since my headlamp only lit three feet in front of me. Holding a light and shaking from the cold, I stood as still as possible while my camera captured the scene. This picture represents to me a small breakthrough in my own reserved nature to explore outside my boundaries.
